The present invention is directed to improvements in .fresh air hoods, and has for its object to provide a device of this character so constructed that the face of a person may be so arranged in relation thereto that fresh air may be obtained without exposing any other part of the body;

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which may be adjusted to fit any size window frame, and one in which the supply of fresh air may b regulated. y

With these and other objects in view, this invention resides in lthe novel features of" construction, formations, combinations and arrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:-

Figure'l'is an elevation of the device taken from the inside of a room. Fig. `2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a similar view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 1- is a llongitudinal sectional view.v Fig.

`5 is a front elevation. Fig. 6 is an end view.

` The device consists of pair of slidably connected plates 1and 2, respectively, said plates being thus adjustedto window frames of various sizes. To retain the device in place it is only necessary to adjust the plates to the width of the window frame, lower the lower sash until thebottom rail thereof rests upon the upper edges of said plates.

A circular air inlet opening 3 is formed in the plate 1.y Formed above and below the j opening 3 are guide-ways 4, and in which lis'slidably mounteda door 5, said door be- `ing provided with a handle 6, so that the same may be conveniently moved, thus en tirely closing the opening 3, or partially closing the same so that the ingress of fresh air may be regulated. Further, the vdoor may be kmoved so that the opening 3. is en- Gopies ofy this patentmay be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner Iof Patents,

. whereby .said inlet.` n

tirely open and this is accomplished by guides 7 which are carried by the plate 2, the door maybe ymoved from the plate 1 to the latter. f

Hingedly mounted on one edge of the plate 1 is a barS, which is adapted to slidably receive vthe rectangular eyes 9 carried by the wooden hoops 10 of the hood 11, said hoops being inclosed by a covering 12, thus permitting the sameto be readily folded whenvnot in use. j

The hood 11-is provided near its inner end, and'in the under surface of the cover thereof with ,an vopening 13, the sides of which may be yregulated to `lit the face of the person by ,drawl strings or in any other suitable manner,for if desired the head of Speoication dflietters Patent. i Patented Sept. 1, 1914. l Y y yApplication filed June 8, 1912.

the user may be passed through said opening and into the interior of said hood.

By providing thebar 8 it will be seen that'the hood 11 may be swung away from the platel` when itis desired to adjust the door 5, and when thedevice is in use thebar is shifted so; that the openedfend of the hood -11 will'fbe in direct communication with the inlet openingl 3.

From ythis construction ity will be seen that a device of this type vhas been prowindows, and one which may be easily and conveniently folded when not in use.

What isfclaimed isz- L In a device of the class described, the

combination with a plate 4whichis provided kwith `an air inlet, of a bar pivoted to the adapted to telescope upon sliding the rings upon the bar, whereby the; open end of said hood may be swung from registry'vwith thel air inlet, said hood being also'adapted when extendedto have its open end register with In testimony whereof, I aflixrmy signature, in presence of two witnesses.
